About the Course

Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design is the first of a series of seven courses that will equip you with the skills needed to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience design. UX designers focus on the interactions that people have with products like websites, mobile apps, and physical objects. UX designers make those everyday interactions usable, enjoyable, and accessible. The role of an entry-level UX designer might include empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes, prototypes, and mockups, and testing designs to get feedback. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the seven courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Define the field of UX and explain why it’s important for consumers and businesses. - Understand foundational concepts in UX design, such as user-centered design, the design thinking framework, accessibility, and equity-focused design. - Identify the factors that contribute to great user experience design. - Review common job responsibilities of entry-level UX designers and teams that they work with. - Explore job opportunities and career paths within the field of user experience. - Explain why design sprints are an important and useful part of a UX designer’s work. - Describe common UX research methods. - Identify and account for biases in UX research....

This course was exactly as it was presented. It gave us a basic introduction to the processes and ideas of what UX design entails. The way the info is presented, both in video format and reading format, helps me retain more information as a learner. I was impressed to learn that some of our knowledge that we already have can be applied to UX design. I am looking forward to the remaining courses.

I absolutely love this course, I love the most how after each detailed video, there is a reading that explains everything that was in the video, but with more in-depth details. I love how interesting this made me. I finished this course in 2 and a half weeks and I am so proud of myself. It was really ingaging and definitely helped me feel like this is going to be really detailed and fun for me.

One of the most coolest courses I have taken , Maybe beacuse of my interest and curiousity in the subject but also with superb instructors who are focusing not only in providing knowledge but also in dealing with real life issues like Imposter syndrome which is some of the dark phases in one's life.

Thankyou Google and the team behind this course for curating this course in such a superb manner.

Now I know more about how to identify the user's needs, how the team finds a way to solve the user's problem. I understand more what it means to be empathetic to all people, with different characteristics and histories, and how to avoid biases. It was interesting to see the leading specialists and be inspired by their example. Now, most of all, I want to thank you for the knowledge I received!

Es un curso excelente, tiene los fundamentos de UX e incluye muchos elementos que te ayudan a fortalecer el conocimiento, abarca gran parte del trabajo en tecnología e incluye una parte excelente sobre el sindrome del impostor que te ensena mucho. Soy de Colombia y no tengo gran experiencia con el inglés pero aún así con los subtitulos en inglés logré entender todo lo que se trataba en el curso

I noticed that some people are saying the course only covers the basics, but that's not accurate. If you read and listen carefully, and pay attention to the provided articles, you'll discover that you can learn much more than you might expect. This course not only helps you determine if this career is right for you, but it also provides you with key terms to explore the field in greater depth.

The "Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design" course is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in UX design. It offers a well-rounded introduction to the field, combining theoretical knowledge with practical application. However, students should be prepared to engage in further study and practice to deepen their expertise and become proficient in specific UX tools and techniques.

As someone who is neurodiverse, coming into this course, I had no idea what to expect. I was worried it would be hard to follow- but that was so far from the case. This course is interesting (it held my teensy ADHD induced attention span really well!), easy to follow yet still high educational. I found it so interesting to hear just how much User Experience Design effects everything around us.

He disfrutado mucho de esta introducción, creo que es muy completa para iniciarse en el mundo del UX design y tener los conocimientos básicos para seguir avanzando. Se puede realizar en poco tiempo ya que tiene el balance justo entre dificultad y el flow para ir avanzando rápido. Los instructores son muy amenos y se nota que disfrutan tanto de la enseñanza como de su trabajo! Muy recomendado!

This course is a life changer. I have learned so much about UX design in just a few day that I don't think it would have been possible otherwise. the fact that it is a self paced course makes it even better as one doesn't have to wait for the next lecture to be released. I cant wait to start the second course. thank you Google and all the instructors for making this knowledge available to us.

I really enjoyed taking this! I had been feeling pretty lost in going for an associates in graphic design. I'm still studying it at a community college, but I didn't feel any motivation or even know what I was wanting to do. After taking this, I feel inspired to learn more about the UX design field. I know that with learning this and graphic design, I'll have some good skills under my belt!

For me, it was a great start. Now I know what the process is and what's going on in the UX. Last day I answered some questions of a senior UX designer about User research and designing for different platforms, and that was cool. The process was fluent and full of empathy and learning. Special thanks to google and Coursera. I just can't wait to start the next course with google's great team.

I like how the instructor at Google introduce themselves In specialization of UX they are in. The spontaneous testing and user forums Keep me on my toes. Then the cumulative testing to make sure that I remember. They also provide a written review after each video of instructor so you can read and reiterate what you heard in the video. I like this way of learning. I will keep going… Thanks!

It is a great way to prepare for a UX design course. It can help you refresh your knowledge of the fundamentals and core concepts of UX design, providing you with a strong foundation as you dive into more advanced topics and practical applications in your course. It's always beneficial to start with a solid understanding of the basics before delving into more complex aspects of UX design.

I loved the variety of instruction from different perspectives. The breadth of knowledge was presented in an easy to follow but engaging way. I like that I could listen and follow along with the transcripts in videos. Digging deeper through the hyperlinks in the readings provided reinforcement of the material. I'm proud of myself for finishing the first course in the certification. Woot!

In this course, I learned about user experience and why it matters to users and businesses, and what makes design good for the user. Defined various disciplines in UX and what tasks I can do as a UX designer. Studied common tools, frameworks and platforms used in UX design. Defined the stages of the design sprint and how you, as an entry-level UX designer, can get involved in the process.

This is a great course that gave me a good foundation of the basics. The module where accessible and equitable design is discussed is gold. A topic so important being covered right in the beginning has laid a strong foundation as the awareness is planted in the early stages. The guidance and assignments to work on building our personal portfolio was very helpful! An Amazing Course indeed.

Foundation of UX Design" was an outstanding course that provided a comprehensive introduction to UX design principles. The instructor was knowledgeable, and the course content was well-structured, making it easy to follow.

Hi! The course was amazing. However, I would like to suggest one thing, in countries such as Peru, the certificate does not count unless it says the amount of hours that the course took. The same happens in many countries in Latin America and other countries such as India too.

I would love if you could at least put in the certificate an approximate amount of hours of the course. Thanks!
